Neo K-12 How to become smarter by doing less in the information age | The Uncommon Life by Kent Healy Common: Believing that focusing on detail is the only and best path to success. Uncommon: Let’s be honest: Most things studied in college are quickly forgotten. I believe this is partly due to the sheer number of concepts addressed per class, per semester.

An extreme focus on detail limits one’s ability to grasp the larger picture, which is critical to knowing what details to focus on. Even though it may seem like some tests include everything covered during the semester, 99% of tests do not. Not so. - Kent

The brief history of the to-do list Charles Schwab was a steel tycoon and a man obsessed with output and economic efficiency. In the early 1900′s, Charles sent out a memo stating that he would award handsomely the individual who could improve productivity amongst his employees. Ivy Lee, the father of public relations, met up with Schwab and suggested the following: each employee should write down 6 tasks everyday and rank them from highest to lowest priority. And thus the to-do list was born. Dr.
